I’m glad I decided to read the reviews as I plonked 1 kg of fruit in chocolate milk 🤦♀️. I rescued the fruit and I’ll use it to make another cake.

Another 5 star recipe, we made our own chocolate milk. Cut in slices and freeze for lunch boxes. Perfect

Hello, I am doing this cake tomorrow. But my problem is that when I put water in the sc the water enters into the cake tin. Is it ok or shall I wrap the foil around the tin before putting into the sc ? Thanks in advance ☺️☺️

I’ve now made over a dozen of these cakes over the last 3 months and love them .
The only thing I change from time to time is to use gluten free flour and Xanthan gum and you can’t taste the difference.

I made this today with orange juice & brandy. It burnt a little around the edges, I had kept turning the bowl so I think I will double layer the baking paper next time. Was still a nice cake, nice & light. Doing it with chocolate milk & baileys tomorrow x

Love this cake. I never ate fruit cake until I made this one for my Mum and had to try it for myself. So so good. Easy to make and a great size to gift to people at Christmas.
